The person behind one of Boston's best-known restaurants as well as a tavern in a boutique hotel is looking to open a new spot, with this one being in one of the city's hottest neighborhoods.
The Boston Globe is reporting that Seth Greenberg of Mistral in the South End and Woodward (now closed) in the Ames Hotel in downtown Boston is planning on opening a French restaurant in the Fort Point neighborhood. The article mentions that Greenberg's newest spot will be in an old textile factory on Melcher Street, which is just across Fort Point Channel from South Station and near where the famous nightclub The Channel used to be.
